Simple logic tells us that those atop a societal hierarchy will provide rewards for professionals—be they clergy or psychiatrists—who promote an ideology that maintains the status quo, and that the ruling class will do everything possible to manipulate the public to believe that the social-economic-political status quo is natural.
When Vice President Kamala Harris toured the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School this week, site of the infamous 2018 Parkland, Florida, mass shooting, she pushed for more gun control and called for communities to accept more federal help in stopping school shootings. “I will continue to advocate for what we must do in terms of universal background checks and assault weapons ban” Harris said.
“. . . if the major media picks up on this story, they will have the chance to report on what arguably is the worst—and most harmful—scandal in American medical history”
Historically, there have always been some patients who report that any treatment for depression—including bloodletting—has worked for them, but science demands that for a treatment to be deemed truly effective, it must work better than a placebo or the passage of time without any treatment. This is especially important for antidepressant drugs—including Prozac, Zoloft, and other selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), as well as Effexor, Cymbalta, and other serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs)—because all of these drugs have uncontroversial troubling side effects.
The list of explanations above tracks psychiatry’s main theories, narratives and social messages over 200 years. Many people are unaware of the origins and belief systems which underpin psychiatry. Even many psychiatrists do not know that their discipline was chiefly founded and spread by the church. Religion has always been intertwined with psychiatry.
It is the Republican Party’s job to expand the US military, rob and oppress the working class, serve US plutocrats, facilitate ecocidal capitalism, and foment division among the electorate. It is the Democratic Party’s job to do these same things while blaming it on Republicans.
A 26-year-old man believed his former classmate was a Russian agent.
He attacked her with a knife and killed her mother in their home.
He is now charged with murder and attempted murder.
On February 11, the police were called to an apartment in Örebro. A woman and her 25-year-old daughter had been very badly stabbed in an apartment.
The mother, who was in her 50s, died from her injuries. Now a 26-year-old man is charged with murder and attempted murder of the two women.
During interrogation, the daughter explained that she was at her mother’s house when suddenly someone pulled the letterbox. She recognized the 26-year-old from school, and thought it was strange that he was there.
When she opened the door, they both realized that they recognized each other. According to the daughter, the situation became tense, and the mother came to the door, then told them that she was going to call the police.
– In connection with that, they want to close the door. Then he prevents them from closing the door. He took out a knife that he had with him, and started attacking and slashing at them, says prosecutor Anders Persson.
When they want to close the door, he stopped them. Instead, the 26-year-old attacked with a knife. Her mother died from her injuries.
The 26-year-old thought she was a Russian agent
But the 26-year-old has a different story.
– He meant that the daughter is part of a network with Russian agents who persecuted and harassed him for some time, says prosecutor Anders Persson.
The man himself has said that he wanted to go there and talk to the daughter, with whom he also attended the same class.
– And he wants to talk to her about that and wants them to leave him alone. That is why he is there, says prosecutor Anders Persson.
According to him, he knocked, the daughter opened, and then the mother came out armed with a knife, and attacked him.
But the prosecutor is not buying his story – there is no evidence that anyone attacked him or that the mother and daughter were agents of any kind.
– Given that he is judged to be seriously mentally disturbed and to have delusions, my opinion is that his description of this may not be quite consistent with how it actually is.
The state of evidence for a conviction looks good, according to the prosecutor. Among other things, the knife he used comes from another apartment.
A bloody note was also left at the crime scene.
“She was a Russian agent. Slava Ukraini!”
The 26-year-old admitted that he had written it during interrogation. He claims that he brought the note with him so that people would understand that those who possibly murdered him were Russian agents.
In addition, there is a video that captured parts of the sequence of events, and also the knife and traces of blood tie the 26-year-old to the scene.
The man has admitted that he has hurt the women, but believes that he should not bear criminal responsibility.
Switzerland hasn’t taken part in any international armed conflict since 1815, but some Swiss soldiers help with peacekeeping missions around the world.
…
Swiss authorities decide on a local level whether to give people gun permits. They also keep a log of everyone who owns a gun in their region, known as a canton, though hunting rifles and some semiautomatic long arms are exempt from the permit requirement.
But cantonal police don’t take their duty dolling out gun licenses lightly. They might consult a psychiatrist or talk with authorities in other cantons where a prospective gun buyer has lived before to vet the person.
…
Gun owners who want to carry their weapon for “defensive purposes” also have to prove they can properly load, unload, and shoot their weapon and must pass a test to get a license.
Switzerland is also one of the richest, healthiest, and, by some measures, happiest countries in the world.
…
The Swiss have been consistently near the top of this list. In 2017, when Switzerland was ranked fourth overall among nations, the report authors noted that the country tends to do well on “all the main factors found to support happiness: caring, freedom, generosity, honesty, health, income and good governance.”
Meanwhile, according to the report, happiness has taken a dive over the past decade in the US.
The report authors cite “declining social support and increased corruption,” as well as addiction and depression for the fall.
The DEA has always been ridiculous when it comes to drugs. It overplays the downside, refuses to acknowledge any upside, and has been instrumental in ensuring people suffering from mental health issues are unable to access the drugs that might help them most.
The DOJ and NCIS confirm that Bils is under multiple investigations, as details of a trouble past come to light.
…
Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh was peppered with questions about Bils during a Monday press briefing. When asked if the Department of Defense was aware that the former Navy chief petty officer had been posting Russian propaganda since 2014 and if she had been under investigation prior to the revelation of the document leak, Ms. Singh replied, “Because this investigation is ongoing, I would refer you to the DOJ for that.”
…
The investigation by the FBI and NCIS comes at a time when the U.S. government appears to be cracking down on Russian influence [dissent] in American politics. In a separate case, the DOJ announced on Tuesday that four U.S. citizens and three Russian nationals have been charged with “conspiring to covertly sow discord in U.S. society, spread Russian propaganda, and interfere illegally in U.S. elections.” A federal grand jury alleges that Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) agents recruited, funded, and discredited U.S. political groups to act as unregistered Moscow agents. Omali Yeshitela, Penny Joanne Hess, Jesse Nevel, and Augustus Romain Jr. of St. Petersburg, Florida, have been charged with violating the 1938 Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), and each faces up to five years in prison.
NAFO claims that Donbass Devushka’s Telegram channel was started in 2014 (during the war in Donbas?), while Bellingcat alleges that it was the first to publicly leak the Pentagon documents. Malcontent News suggests that she could be charged as a foreign agent due to her loose association with Rybar. They incorrectly state that the members of the Uhuru Movement are being charged under FARA. They’re being charged under Title 18 U.S.C. §951, according to the indictment. FYI, speech is restricted, under the UCMJ, while serving in the military.
